Excerpt |
---|
Looks up matches to regular expressions in a dictionary within a single token and then tags the match with one or more semantic tags as an alternative representation. |
Operates On: Lexical Items with TOKEN
...
and possibly other flags as specified below.
Note |
---|
All possibilities are tagged, including overlaps and sub-patterns, with the expectation that later disambiguation stages will choose which tags are the correct interpretation. |

Example Output
In the following example, "number" is in the dictionary as a regex for using "[0-9]+" and "[0-9]+\\.[0-9]+" :

^-----[What's]-----V--[your]--V--[name]--V-----[12]-----V--[@#$]--V-----[25]-----V-----------[63.3]------------^
^--[What]--V--[s]--^ ^--[{number}]--^ ^--[{number}]--^-----[63]-----V-----[3]------^
^-----[what's]-----^ ^---------[{number}]----------^
^--[what]--^ ^--[{number}]--^--[{number}]--^
|
Note |
---|
Notice that on the example for Regex Pattern Stage the "self-name" tag would have a potential match with "What's your name". However, the Simple Regex Stage does not lookup for matches beyond a single token (as the Regex Patter Stage does). |
Output Flags
Lex-Item Flags:
- SEMANTIC_TAG - Identifies all lexical items that are semantic tags.PROCESSED - Placed on all tokens that compose the semantic tag.
Vertex Flags:

Resource Data
The regex pattern must have an "pattern dictionary" (a string to JSON map) which is a list of JSON records, indexed by entity ID. In addition, there may also be a pattern map and a token index.
...
Each JSON record represents an entity. The format is as follows:

Notes
- Multiple patterns can have the same entry.
- Additional fielded data can be added to the record.
- As needed by downstream processes.
Fields
Parameter |
---|
summary | Identifies the entity by unique ID. This identifier must be unique across all entries (across all dictionaries). |
---|
name | id |
---|
required | true |
---|
|
- Typically, this is an identifier with meaning to the larger application that is using the Language Processing Toolkit.
Tag which will identify any match in the graph, as an interpretation | name | tag |
---|
|
Parameter |
---|
summary | The list of semantic tags that will be added to the interpretation graph whenever any of the patterns are matched. |
---|
name | tags |
---|
type | string array |
---|
required | true |
---|
|
- A list of patterns
Pattern to match in the content |
|
.patternstype | string array |
---|
- Options
Parameter |
---|
summary | When this flag is specified then the input string that specifies the pattern is treated as a sequence of literal characters. Metacharacters or escape sequences in the input sequence will be given no special meaning. |
---|
default | false |
---|
name | literal |
---|
|
Parameter |
---|
summary | Set to true if the pattern is not case sensitive. |
---|
default | true |
---|
name | caseInsensitive |
---|
type | boolean |
---|
|
parameter
...
summary | Specifies the confidence level of the entity, independent of any patterns matched. |
---|
name | confidence |
---|
type | double |
---|
- This is the confidence of the entry, in comparison to all of the other entries. Essentially, the likelihood that this entry will be encountered randomly.
